  1. What he said. We don't know that for certain.
  2. Why, thank you for enlightening me. But guess what, I don't need to go to wikipedia to find out what a troll is, because in the forum guidelines which you have obviously not read it clearly states:
  3. So? That doesn't mean you have a right to anything else other than what you paid for (ie what's in the box) or that from the moment you give your $50 the devs are your personal servants. If you don't like it, return the game and be done with it.
  4. No. The opinion on the story's quality has nothing to do with the ability to craft a good story. There are no better or worse opinions. And if you will take another's opinion on a subjective matter over your own just because he has more credentials than you do, then you are just an idiot. )
  5. That's a laugh. For starters, no piece of software is bug-free. That's a utopia. And besides, nobody is forcing you to buy the game. So it's not really an obligation. You are not entitled to flawlessly bug-free software, and if you think you are, you live in self-deceit. If the game is in an unacceptable state right now, it is your right as a customer to return it and let whoever you bought it from know why you aren't happy. But that's about it. Whining and moaning and harassing the devs on their own boards is not your right. Let's not confuse things.
  6. Of course lightsabers are possible. Want proof?
  7. So, other than trolling, what was the intent of this thread, again?
  8. And that is what I mean by Dragon Ball syndrome. "
  9. You can't get Sith Marauder because that's not a WotC class. Sith Marauder is the KotOR equivalent of a Sith Warrior. IIRC there's a class called "Dark Side Marauder", but it's more of an untrained dark Jedi than a Sith cultist, and it's one of the classes that are in the SW d20 basic sourcebook. Since that test is somewhat of a promotion of the Dark Side Sourcebook, I don't think you can get that one either.
  10. Well, it seems Einstein wasn't very fond of the idea that the reality couldn't be quantified with infinite precision, which is one of the basic principles of quantum mechanics. He said something along the lines of "God doesn't play dice". When quantum mechanics were accepted as a valid theory, he was effectively proven wrong.
  11. No, I don't think so. While you might be able to recognize some patterns, or narrative techniques and perhaps find flaws in those, that doesn't give you a "more informed perspective" on the story itself, since the story is the same for everyone. Sloppy storytelling is not something subtle or something you need to be trained to detect. Quite the opposite in fact. But again, writing is a creative work, and not a science. Which in the end, means that any of your judgements are nothing but your opinion. You may be more knowledgeable than I am, but that doesn't make your opinion any more valid than mine at all. There you go again dismissing everyone else's opinions just because you are "a semi-professional writer". I think that stating that people are justifying, what is in your opinion, sloppy writing is rather arrogant and hints that you might be a bit too full of yourself. I tend to take elitist opinions such as yours with a pinch of salt. I'm not going to argue your credentials, they mean nothing to me. Einstein himself was proven wrong. And proving him wrong was easier than it would be to prove wrong any of those who think the story is good, because unlike art, quantum mechanics can be mathematically demonstrated.
  12. Obviously you have been doing some selective reading.
  13. You are obviously wrong. Baldur's Gate (I&II) were damn long games in which you could not gain more than 10 levels. Both of them are some of the best CRPGs EVER. Rampant leveling is irrelevant to the fun factor of a game. In fact I found K2's leveling pace rather annoying at times. Uh, and what about people who hasn't ever played K1 and/or K2? Such a deep involvement of former games' plots and PCs would be extremely boring for new players and would not make sense at all for them. It's nice to have a continuation to the saga, but a game must be playable by itself, without need for the previous installments. That's the corporate reason that will prevent any of that from happening. K3, if it's ever going to be done needs a completely new ruleset, written from scratch for this purpose, OR an absolutely by-the-book approach to the d20 ruleset. The glaring game imbalance and broken mechanics are proof of this. A new ruleset would indeed have many advantages. It would allow the designers to do anything they had in mind, without being limited by the shortcomings of a ruleset that wasn't designed for a computer game in the first place. It would allow to have a generic version of Revan/exile without whiners complaining everywhere. It would get rid of ruleset bitches such as myself. But even if they did all of that, it wouldn't be possible to have a game which featured a post K1/K2 Revan or exile as the PC and at the same time, be fun. There just aren't enemies which can stand up to that level of power. The excuse that everyone in the True Sith Empire (whatever the hell that is) is an insanely powerful god of destruction is at best trite. The alternative of de-leveling them ONCE AGAIN is even worse. Not to mention that that wouldn't be SW. That would be Dragon Ball. Don't let KotOR become Matrix Revolutions.
  14. Well, console owners know (or should know) the risks of favoring the console version of a game over the PC one, not just the advantages. But let's try not to turn this into yet another Xbox vs PC thread. Anyway, you have a point. Xbox owners would be rather pissed, and MS wouldn't like that. Hence, the gods at LA wouldn't be very happy about it, seeing how their policy towards customer satisfaction ranks significantly lower than their desire to get more Xbox contracts, which in the end means that a content patch probably won't be getting the thumbsup from LA.
  15. Hmm, for some reason I can't quite picture a mass murderer that would help old blind women cross the street. But then again, I try to be consequent with the idea of my PC that I have made at the beginning of the game, and I make my decisions accordingly. When I played grey Jedi, I just wouldn't get involved in most stuff. Unfortunately, that's a great way to miss XP. But again, as Rosbjerg said, it's all about the role-playing. I don't consider myself a murderous sociopath, but I have no problems role-playing one. It's just like watching a movie. I just have the PC act as I think he (or she) would, and my conscience is OK with that.
  16. I'm guessing it's broken, since I've done everything I'm supposed to, and still no luck. No big deal anyway, it's not like there's a quest related or something like in K1.
  17. where the f---ing hell do you get it? You get it as a freebie if you go Sith Assassin or Jedi Watchman.
  18. There's no rational way to explain fantasy. You either believe it, or not. And all of the Jedi masters knew about force bonding, it's just none of them had heard of one that could be potentially lethal.
  19. The Ravager was a Republic vessel. Some mandalorian says "it still bears the wounds of mandalorian weapons".
